[RESOLVED] a little help

So now i'm screwing with SetConsoleTitle and I keep getting conversion errors.

Code:

---

        string title = "Testing Console Functions";

        SetConsoleTitle(title.c_str());

---

I keep getting this error whether I make it LPCSTR, LPCWSTR, Const Char, Char or String. So what am I doing wrong?

Code:

---

1>c:\users\cooper\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\forgotten_truths2\forgotten_truths2\main.cpp(41) : error C2664: 'SetConsoleTitleW' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char *' to 'LPCWSTR'

You can use TCHAR, and the _T or _TEXT macros to hard code in strings:

Code:

---

TCHAR* title = _T( "Testing Console Functions" );

SetConsoleTitle( title );

What include do I need for _T or _TEXT. both result in identifier not found errors.

I think tchar.h.
